CALDWELL'S EXCURSION.

Southern Kansas never looked better tnsu

the line and throughout the country through
which we passed the great wheat fields of
Kansas were TO be seen springiug into new

farmers were TO be seen and every hand
putting in seed for the bountiful hs1vests
already assured for 1881. All the towns
along the route show such marked signs Of

WICHITA'S WORK.

Special pi patch to the Globe Democrat.
WIcn1rA, Kas., April 21--The real es-
tate market In this city is more active and
stronger than In the two preceding weeks.
although there were only three days IN last
week when the weather permitted showing
outside property. The sales amount to S1,-
200, 90, while the weekly bank clearances
amounted to little more than 81 ,OOO,OOO
There were three new manufacturing es-
tablishments whose representatives came
here last week seeE ing locations.
Work on the two new motor street car
lines was commenced, one to go to the
south part of the city. A charter was
granted to one entirely new motor line, be-
ginning on the east side of the river and
crossing over into West Wichita.
The Presbyterian college, with dOna'
ton of 400 acres of land and $500, 600 in
cash, was located just east of the city linn
its on Douglas avenue.
Among some of the larger transfers OF
the week were 120 acres north Of Fair
mount college for $4,000, to ~ W..
Levy. representing Chicago syndicate.
There were three or four others ranging
from $50, 900 to SAC, 900. four or five since
Monday having reached the latter sum.
Prices on all kinds of property are stiff,

THE JOHN BRIGHT.
The Friends University at Wichita

RICHMOND, Ind, April %. 's5.
Editor Christian Worker.
Dear Friend-I spent nearly week at
Wichita recently, and found it place of
great interest as city of wonderfully
rapid growth and great enterprise. Just
at that time our Friends felt that there was
great responsibility resting on them in
the acceptance of large donations of money
and of lands adjoining the city for the
establishment of the John Bright uni
versity. They urgently pressed me
into their frequent conferences, prepara-
tory to their acceptance from the city Of
this important trust l heartily entered
into the particulars of the case, and also, TO
the best of my ability, assisted them in
judging as to the permanence and prospects
of this wonderful city, Wichita. After
the most deliberate and prayerful consider
alton of the subject, could do no other
than urge them to accept the trust and
press on to an early completion of the IL
Stitution.
The people there have high apprecia-
ton of our Friend John Bright, and seem
ed to delight in the adoption of his name
for that institution. wish to ask
the hearty sympathy and co operation of
all Friends both in America, England and
Ireland to the successful completion of this
grand enterprise.
Wichita is situated on beautiful, gently
rolling plain or prairie, about 23O miles
southwest of Kansas City, and about 800
miles southeast of Denver, Colorado, in the
midst of a very fertile prairie country, with
the Indian Territory, rich country, about
fifty miles south, which will, no doubt,
within few years be open for settlement.
and is at the present time occupied consid
erably with an increasing float
ing population The railroad com
panies look upon this city as the future
center of large extent of country, and it
is fast becoming a very important railroad
center Friends are becoming numerous
in western Kansas, and they, with the gen
eral population of that country, are re-
markable for intelligence and untiring en-
ergy. Although / have travelled exten-
sively in America and some in England, |
have nowhere seen their equal in this res
pect. There is fair probability that
Wichita will be heard of frequently in the
near future. Thy Friend,
JOSEPH DICKINSON.

THE OUTLYING WAY.

Topeka is out, hopping around like q
tomtit on pump handle, with the start
| ling announcement that census just taken
by Mr Sam Radges gives that place thirty
thousand population within the ward
| boundaries, thirty-tive thousand taking in
the school districts belonging to the city,
and thirty-eight thousand including the
outlying additions The outlying" cuts a
big figure. We should say that it is not
only 'out" but "out and out" lying for it
seems according to the Commonwealth that
| it was no census after all but an estimate
based on Sam Radges' new city directory.
Why don't Topeka follow the example
of Wichita and take regular census by
sworn officers every year7 These esti-
mates are well enough in their way but
wholly unsatisfactory and not reliable.
Topeka, next to Wichita, is the boom
INCEST town in the state, and will probably
hold in the future its proud position of
being next to Wichita the largest city in
the state 1t is splendid town. splendid
ly located, with the state capital, federal
and supreme courts and the great Santa
Fe to back it, therefore can't afford to be
telegraphing mere estimates. especially
when those estimates are upon their face
short Of the facts. We were willing that
Topeka, for one year longer, should claim
the dist inction of being the most populous
city in Kansas, but now she has gone and
committed herself before Wichita had
completed her census, and committed her
self at a figure which Wichita will be
compelled TO surpass unless the census
taker fails of his duty or belittles his re-
filrna Ii nder oath

KANSAS CITY AND WICHITA.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
KANSAS CITY, April %, 1887.
That Wichita is thorn in the side of
this truly prosperous, but bilious and
boastful burg, may be easily learned by
visiting the leading real estate offices of the
city. Spectators, and those desiring to
visit Kansas to seek business locations or
homes, are warned to shun the dazzling
prospects and present prosperity of the
Peerless Princess" Wichita, as though 1t
were the maelstrom Of the real estate bot
tomless pit. Every kind of silly and un-
reasonable story is concocted and related
TO the westward traveller to divert him from
his purpos "a visit Wichita, or mislcad
him as to its actual growth and real merits
When confronted with the published lists
of the daily sales Of real estate at your
city, they respond, 1T Is fraud, got up
to de ceive the unwary and catch the ten
derfoot. The lists are made up from day
to day by sales from one real estate agent
to another. to keep up the appearance of a
boom and deceive the public"
This is one of the most Oft repeated and
sweetest devil-quids among the numerous
lies circulated to defame and injure Wichi-
iia, which wonderful city will not down,
but prospers against the wholesale slander
OF combined real estate bugbears, newspa-
per misrepresentation and jealous rivals.
1t is hard to tell whether the chief end of
real estaters here is to vilify Wichita or
sell Kansas City property.
Careful observation leads Us to believe
that while this is a wonderfully prosperous
city the building boom has been overdone.
especially is this true Of residence property.
